Emoji support for OpenCart
Emoji and all languages support in OpenCart
This extension updates the database encoding from the outdated utf8 to the modern utf8mb4 . Thanks to this, your online store starts supporting emoji ????, and any symbols of any languages – from Chinese characters to the Arabic alphabet.
Main features of the module:
- Full emoji support in titles, descriptions, and review texts
- Database translation to utf8mb4 for extended character support
- Correct display of meta tags: meta_title, meta_description, meta_h1 and other text fields
- Safely change the structure of text fields in products, categories, articles and reviews
Why is this important?
Without utf8mb4, the database cannot store complex characters and emojis. After installing the module, you will avoid problems with text display, ensure compatibility with modern standards, and improve the perception of your content by users.
Important: Before installation, it is recommended to create a backup of the database and site files. You perform all actions at your own risk.
